Has anyone ever heard of a Choupug?

[jmchandler]

Is this Oddworld related? I've never seen it before.
It is Lorne Lanning's Twitter picture.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I searched and didn't find anything.

[MuMI]

I would like to know that too!
And I also seen him only in his twitter...

[FlakyRock]

Whow, that scared me.
Hmmmm.... It does remind me of the game a little bit... lets RESEARCH!

[Xavier]

Hey, look at that, something new...

[The Brewmaster]

Something New?! .... nah its a trick, if you look close enough you can see that its an announcement that is actually not going to be announced untill September...maybe December :P

[squeak117]

This is interesting.
The name 'Choupug' sounds very much like the title of a type of dog. That's actually kind of worrying, seeing as we already have the Slog in Oddworld, which I would have to say is one of the most delightfully terrifying creatures in the first two games.

If it's an addition, I welcome it with open arms... but for all we know, it could be a straight up replacement. I feel as though OWI have had enough time to re-think their designs, whether we might like it or not. Here's hoping that isn't the case, though.

chou [ʃuː]
n pl choux [ʃuː]
1. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Plants) a type of cabbage
2. a rosette
3. (Cookery) a round cream bun

Well, there you go.

[Dynamithix]

This is interesting. Great find!

[Nate]

Are we even sure that it is really Lorne Lanning on that twitter account?

Of course not! This is the internet.

[Xavier]

He's following his long time friend Josh Gabriel and he's using one of his own made up words: http://www.addictionary.com/words/17695/diabiblical

Plus the picture looks totally new and oddworld to me.

So I'd say the chances of him really being Lorne are pretty good.

[MeechMunchie]

Is it really me on this OWF account?

Hmm. Chou-pug. An amalgamation of the words 'chew' and 'pug', creating a creature with a large mouth, big eyes and a flat face.

Well, it certainly fits the OWI creative process.

[GlukkonGluk]

After five years, I should certainly hope they've managed to come up with ONE new creature, don't you think?

[Dynamithix]

Yeah, you're right about that.

[MuMI]

It sure is odd!

[STM]

I immediately thought of a pug dog and chou - chupacabra

[paramiteabe]

Maybe its a revision to Fuzzles? But then again maybe its Oddworlds version of a small dog like a Chinese Pug.

[Alf Shall Rise]

Certainly looks weird. Let's hope it is some kind of new creature. Its eyes remind me of a tarsier's eyes.

[jmchandler]

Maybe it's a Mudokon which has turned into a WereSlog.

[Mr. Bungle]

A "Wereslog"...I'd have to encounter one of those, seeing as regular Slogs are vicious enough!

Interesting find.

[ziggy]

Does it look like a Boombat's face to anyone else?

[Mr. Bungle]

What is a Boombat? Can't say I've ever heard of one of them.

Is anyone following this Twitter account? I tried, but it said it was protected. If you are, is it confirmed to be Lorne's account?

[FlakyRock]

ONE new creature would completely change the way the game is played

This is a boombat:



And I can't follow Lorne, Max apparently managed to, but Lorne didn't tweet yet.

Which one?

Abe's Oddysee, Exoddus.
Not much Munch and Stranger's because, you get what I mean.

[Wil]

So I'm the only one who doesn't think it's particularly Oddworld?

[STM]

I think the colour scheme of the creature and the art style is oddworld but the picture is big enough to be definitive.

[Xavier]

So I'm the only one who doesn't think it's particularly Oddworld?

It could be a creature from an other universe then oddworld, but you'll have to admit it's the same style.

[MeechMunchie]

I looks like Rat(z) but angrier.

[Phantasos]

That is pretty intriguing. But why has Lanning protected his tweets? What's up with that?

[Nate]

Maybe he actually wants to connect with friends and people he cares about without fans butting in and harrassing him like they have with poor Stewart Gilray.
